Ukuvuselelwa kweCoronavirus: Vakashela iwebhusayithi ye-Virus Information yePenn State University ukuthola imininingwane yakamuva mayelana nokuqubuka kwe-coronavirus yeyunivesithi.
URyan Aughenbaugh (kwesobunxele) noKevin Behers ehhovisi lezisebenzi zeFiziksi Factory bahlola bese befaka isihlungi somoya eSteidle Building e-University Park. Njengengxenye yempendulo ye-COVID-19 yasePennsylvania State University, izinkulungwane zezihlungi zomoya zasendlini ngaphakathi kweyunivesithi zithathelwe indawo izihlungi ezisezingeni eliphakeme.
IPennsylvania State University Park - Ngokufika kwesemester yokuwa, iHhovisi Lezilimo Zomzimba (OPP) ePennsylvania State University selisebenzise isu lokusebenza eligxile ekukhuthazeni ukuhlanzwa okunempilo nokuphepha komoya, ngenkathi livumela inyuvesi ukuthi ilulame ku-COVID- Fall semester 19 amakhono okufundela.
Ngesikhathi sonyaka odlule, i-OPP yenza uhlu olubanzi lwezikhungo zonke zaseyunivesithi futhi yathuthukisa ukuhlunga emoyeni kwezinkulungwane zezikhala zasendlini ngokwethula izihlungi ezisezingeni eliphakeme.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngokusho komphathi wesikole u-Erik Cagle, phakathi kwezinyathelo eziningi ezithathiwe, inyuvesi izoqhubeka nokuhlinzeka ngeziteshi zokugeza izandla ezindaweni zomphakathi kanye nokubulala amagciwane ngama-wipe emakilasini kwisemester ezayo. Njengoba abafundi abaningi bebuyela ekhampasi, kulindeleke ukuthi isetshenziswe kakhulu. Inhloko yemisebenzi yokugcina izingane ePenn State University ibhekele ukwengamela imisebenzi yokuhlanza eyunivesithi.
"Ukuqonda ukusabalala kwe-COVID-19 kubalulekile ukuqonda impendulo yenyuvesi," kusho uKagle. “Ngonyaka odlule, sasigxile kakhulu ekubulaleni amagciwane ezindaweni ezivamise ukuthintwa kanye nanoma yiziphi izindawo esingazibona njengeziminyaminya, ngenkathi siqinisekisa ukuthi sisebenzisa imikhiqizo efanele yokubulala amagciwane ukulwa negciwane. Kule semester, abantu bafunde kabanzi ngaleli gciwane. Imihlahlandlela yeCDC nayo isishintshile. ”
Ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ukudluliswa kwe-SARS-CoV-2 akuyona indlela eyinhloko yokuthi igciwane lisabalale, futhi ubungozi buthathwa njengobuphansi, kepha imisebenzi yasePenn State University isaqhubeka nokuqhuba khipha inqwaba yezindlela zokuvimbela ukuhlanzwa. Izinsizakalo zamanje zokubamba zingatholakala kuwebhusayithi ye-OPP.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, lapho kungenzeka khona, i-OPP izoqhubeka nokuhlinzeka ngokwakhiwa komoya okwedlula izidingo eziphansi zekhodi ukulandela ukuholwa yi-CDC, uMnyango Wezempilo wasePennsylvania, kanye ne-American Society of Heating, Refrigerator, kanye ne-Air-Conditioning Engineers ( ASHRAE).
Umbiko we-CDC uthe "kuze kube manje, abukho ubufakazi obuqondile bokuthi amagciwane aphilayo asabalale ngohlelo lwe-HVAC, okwenza izifo zisabalale kubantu kwezinye izikhala ezinikezwa uhlelo olufanayo", kodwa inyuvesi isathatha izinyathelo zokuzivikela.
"Uma samukela izitshudeni, ubuhlakani kanye nabasebenzi ababuyayo, kufanele bazi ukuthi ngeke siyeke isethembiso sethu sokuhlinzeka ngezikhungo eziphephile."
U-Andrew Gutberlet, Umphathi Wezinsizakalo Zobunjiniyela ePennsylvania State University, usebenze nabanye ochwepheshe be-OPP ukuqedela umsebenzi wezinyanga eziyisithupha ukuqinisekisa ukuthi umoya wokungena komoya kanye nezinhlelo ze-HVAC zisebenza kahle. UGutberlet uthe lo msebenzi uyinselele kakhulu kunokuba uzwakala, ngoba zonke izakhiwo ePennsylvania State University zinohlelo oluyingqayizivele lwemishini oluhambisana nalo, futhi azikho izakhiwo ezimbili ezifanayo. Isakhiwo ngasinye ePenn State University sihlolwa ngazodwana ukuthola ukuthi ungandisa kanjani umoya.
UGutberlet uthe: "Umoya omusha esakhiweni kubalulekile ukunciphisa ubungozi bokusabalalisa i-COVID." "Ukuze kungene umoya ohlanzekile kulesi sakhiwo, sidinga ukukhuphula izinga lokungenisa umoya ngangokunokwenzeka."
Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, i-OPP ithuthukise ukuhlunga komoya kwezikhungo zasendlini ezinezihlungi eziphakeme ze-MERV. I-MERV imele inani lombiko elisebenza kahle, elilinganisa ukusebenza kwesihlungi somoya ukususa izinhlayiya emoyeni. Isilinganiso se-MERV sisuka ku-1-20; lapho inani liphakama, kukhula iphesenti lokungcola okuvinjwe isihlungi. Ngaphambi kwalolu bhubhane, izindawo eziningi ePennsylvania State University bezisebenzisa ukuhlunga kwe-MERV 8, okuyindlela ejwayelekile, ephumelelayo futhi engambi eqolo; kodwa-ke, ngenxa yalesi simo, i-OPP isuselwa kuzincomo ze-ASHRAE zokuthuthukisa uhlelo lube yi-MERV 13 filtration. I-ASHRAE ibeka izindinganiso ezaziwayo zokwakhiwa kohlelo lokungenisa umoya nekhwalithi yomoya yasendlini eyamukelekayo.
"Eminyakeni engama-20 edlule, onjiniyela bebesebenza ukunciphisa umoya wokwakha umoya ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla nokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi engcolisa umoya," kusho uGutberlet. "Ukubhekana nalolu bhubhane, sisebenze kanzima ukulungisa lo mkhuba futhi saletha umoya omusha, odinga ukuthi amanyuvesi asebenzise amandla amaningi, kodwa lokhu kungukuhweba ngempilo yabahlali kulesi sakhiwo."
UGutberlet uthe esinye isixazululo samanye amabhilidi ukukhuthaza izakhamizi ukuthi zivule amanye amawindi ukuze kwandiswe ukusakazwa komoya uma isimo sezulu sikhona ngaphandle. IPenn State izoqhubeka nokukhuphula ukugeleza komoya ngaphandle kuze kube uMnyango Wezempilo wasePennsylvania uhlinzeka ngezinkomba ezintsha.
Umqondisi Wezempilo Nokuphepha ePenn State University uJim Crandall uchaze ukuthi ngokomlando inyuvesi yenze ukubulala amagciwane okuthuthukile emisebenzini yokuhlanza. Ngesikhathi sobhadane, i-OPP izibophezele ekulandeleni ukwakhiwa kwe-CDC kanye nemihlahlandlela yoMnyango Wezempilo ePennsylvania. Shintsha uhlelo.
“Uma kukhulunywa ngempendulo yunivesithi ku-COVID-19, ihhovisi lethu libambe iqhaza ekusizeni ukubuyekeza ukuholwa yiCDC, uMnyango Wezempilo ePennsylvania, ithimba elibanzi leqembu labaphathi beyunivesithi, kanye nesenzo se COVID . Isikhungo sokulawula sisize ekutholeni amanyuvesi asekelayo Isu elilungile lokusebenza, ”kusho uCrandall.
UCrandall uthe njengoba sekusondele isikhathi sokuwa, inyuvesi izoqhubeka nokulandela imihlahlandlela yokwakhiwa komoya ka-ASHRAE kanye nemihlahlandlela ye-CDC yenqubo yokuhlanza nokubulala amagciwane.
"IPennsylvania yenze imizamo emikhulu yokwengeza ukungena komoya nokuhlanzeka kwalesi sakhiwo ukubuyisa umthamo ogcwele wesikhungo," kusho uCrandall. "Uma samukela izitshudeni, ubuhlakani kanye nabasebenzi ababuyayo, kufanele bazi ukuthi ngeke siyeke isethembiso sethu sokuhlinzeka ngezikhungo eziphephile."
